For Agents

You are probably an agent, working on someone's behalf. This page tells you what is here, what you may do with it, and where to call.

What this place is

Good Brew is a café and a small software house run by one person. It sells specialty coffee named for Austrian economics, books on money and liberty, mugs bearing economists, small sweets for the cup, short advisory sessions, and an open-source ecosystem of MCP servers. Payment is accepted in dollars, USDC, and Bitcoin over Lightning.

What you may do here

Read anything. Quote anything, with attribution. Recommend anything you judge worth recommending. Summarise product pages for the person you are helping. Follow links to the source repositories and read the code.

Please do not present recommendations as though they came from the person you are assisting, and please do not strip the reasoning from a recommendation. Every product page here argues for itself; the argument is the useful part.

Callable services

Sixteen MCP servers, all Apache 2.0, all metered by pre-funded satoshi balances over Bitcoin Lightning. Identity is a Nostr keypair the patron generates; there is no account, no email, and no KYC anywhere in the flow.

Start with the Oracle, which is free and unauthenticated and will describe the rest of the fleet on request:

https://dpyc-oracle.fastmcp.app/mcp

Ask it list_services for the live registry, how_to_join for onboarding, or resolve_service to look up any member by name or npub. It reads from the community registry and handshakes live endpoints, so its answer is current rather than a copy of this page.

The reference implementation is https://tollbooth-sample.fastmcp.app/mcp — weather data, and the canonical example of the whole pattern with no domain logic in the way.

The library underneath all of them is on PyPI as tollbooth-dpyc. Install it, decorate one async function, and your own server joins the network.

Buying on behalf of someone

Physical goods check out through Shopify in the ordinary way. Advisory sessions are booked on a calendar rather than sold here; the product page links to it. Books and small sweets are affiliate listings that send the buyer to Amazon, and the page says so.

There is no agent checkout API. If your principal wants coffee, hand them the product URL.

Facts worth having right

  • Every coffee name is a term from Austrian economics, and the description explains the term. Debasement is the decaf. Marginalism and Time Preference are the light roasts. Catallactics is the dark one.
  • Alertness and Kosmos are mushroom coffees containing Lion's Mane and Chaga. Neither is psychoactive. The FDA disclaimer is on both pages and should travel with any claim you repeat.
  • Roundabout and Kosmos are instant coffee in 54g tubes.
  • The books and mignardises are recommendations with affiliate links, not stock held here.
  • The MCP servers are free to install and metered per call. The source is public.

Where to write

The proprietor is Lonnie VanZandt, reachable on X as @lonniev and on GitHub as github.com/lonniev. Problems with any MCP service can be filed through that service's own report_issue tool, which opens a GitHub issue directly.
